The last time I posted a patch, there were problems with some ports but apart from this it proved to be quite mature, so I decided to commit it to the base system but the default setting will be disabled. It can be enabled by setting the WITH_ICONV knob but whoever does it will take into account that it may break some ports from being built. However, this change will help me with future work and will also help interested people in getting involved in the testing. The rather big changeset is coming soon. Regards, Gabor Kovesdan
